Chapter 5 - Get Stood Up

After leaving the Abraham Group, Scarlett wanted to cry but had no tears.

She didn't achieve her goal and was tricked by Mike, losing her face completely.

But this could discourage her! She would redouble her efforts!

Since she failed here, she decided to sneak to the parking lot and wait for Mike!

Soon, she saw his Bugatti of a limited edition. The silver-gray lines showed his personality-arrogant but aloof. Scarlett squatted in front of the car, took out her phone, and wanted to send him a touching message.

She took out her phone and froze.

Just now, the app she used to retouch Mike's photo was still open, but she was now the one with a pig nose.

It had to be said that Mike was a very talented person. Her pictures were vulgar and ugly. But he made the pig head cute with the same app!

No matter how cute she was, she was still a pig!

Scarlett gritted her teeth and deleted it. She turned and kicked his beloved car.

She opened Line and was just about to modify notes to his name to Super Pig when she saw his Line image.

It was originally a picture with his name on it. He personally wrote it.

Just a few seconds ago, it turned into Scarlett with a pig's nose and ears.

He has sent the blood boiling into her head. She gritted her teeth and typed words that did not match her mood at this moment.

"Mike, I'm waiting for you. I will keep waiting for you if you don't come out."

After a long time, he finally replied with a "Fine".

Scarlett held the phone and continued to wait. As long as she could see him, there was hope.

In the past few days, she also asked for help from others, but they all avoided this when they heard it was about the Lauren Group. Other than Mike, no one could save her.

Scarlett took out her phone to play while waiting. The underground parking lot was crowded with people. The cars were decreasing one by one. In the end, only the luxurious Bugatti was left.

Her phone ran out of battery, so Scarlett sent a Line message to Mike.

"Mike, you must be very tired. Don't work overtime."

What she really wanted to express was-Come on! Her waist and legs were sore from waiting. She was hungry. She had not drunk a drop of water and eaten anything. She was exhausted.

He quickly replied, "I won't."

Scarlett was overjoyed. Then just show up! Just as she was organizing her words, his message came.

"Already on my way home."

Scarlett was shocked. She directly called him.

"Mike, you're already home?"

"Yes." He was always that silent. He seemed to be in the car at this time. Scarlett heard the sound inside the car.

"But your car?"

"Who told you that I only had one car?"

Scarlett felt as if she was drenched in ice water. She quickly understood that she was tricked by him again.

"Mike, you did it on purpose?" For the past few hours, she had been waiting until her legs were sore. What exactly was it for?

"Even if you wait a hundred years, it will be futile."

There was only a beeping sound on the other side of the line. Scarlett grabbed the phone and thought she was like a clown for the whole day. She turned around angrily and took out her key. Then she scratched his car.

Finally, she vented a bit of her resentment. Then she walked out of the underground parking lot. It was already dark, and it was unknown when it started to rain.

Her phone rang, and when she saw who it was, she quickly picked it up.

"Hello, Dr. Miller?"

This number was from the sanatorium. Every time it appeared, it meant bad news, and this time was no exception.

"Ms. Lauren, your mother suddenly lost control. Please come here immediately!"

...

Mike's driver was summoned by his boss from his vacation and drove an extended Rolls-Royce to pick his boss up.

Being the driver was a good job. He got high pay and could drive dozens of luxury cars. The best thing was for most of the time, Mike drove himself. It was rare to suddenly summon him like today.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Mike frowned slightly and suddenly said, "Turn around and return to the company."

The driver thought that maybe Mike forgot to take something and did not dare to delay. He quickly drove back. Just as he stopped at the main entrance, he heard Mike order, "Drive to the underground parking lot!"

As a result, he only saw the new car which was keyed by Scarlett. Blue veins stood out on his temples.

Very good. He just bought this car less than a month and it needed to be sent to the factory to spray paint now. The claws of the little wildcat were really sharp.

Mike returned to the car and thought for a moment. He did not return home but instructed the driver to send him to the bar.

The butler kept pouring exhortations into his ear for the past few days, and she almost talked his ears off.

He called a few of his best friends and asked them to meet at the bar.

It was already early in the small hours after the gathering, and he leaned against the seat in a tipsy state. The rain grew heavier as expected. It was a flood of rain, washing away the prosperity of the city.

The shadow flew by quickly, causing a splash on the side of the road. Suddenly, Mike sat up straight, and a figure sitting on the side of the road outside the window attracted him.

Scarlett was exhausted after coming out of the sanatorium.

Her mother swallowed the blade this time, but fortunately, the doctor found it in time. Otherwise, even God couldn't save her.

The first thing she did after waking up was to beg Scarlett with a hoarse voice, begging her to find Allen to come over.

She called Allen and got the same answer. If the problem with the Lauren Group was not solved, even if her mother died, she should not expect him to take a look.

She came out of the hospital muddle-headed. Her clothes were wet from the rain and stuck to her body with cold air. A few taxis stopped and left. She didn't know where she should go.

She bent her knees and hugged herself, the rain and tears on her face mixed together.

She was getting colder and colder, but it could not compare to the tiredness in her heart.

Before she was brought back by the Lauren family, she and her mother depended on each other for survival. When her mother was not sick, she doted on her very much. There was one time when she had a high fever and almost died. Her mother could not stop the car, so she carried her on the way to the hospital. Scarlett could never forget the temperature in her mother's arms.

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, Scarlett did not want to give up. Her mother was mad because of love. The man was the only redemption for her mother. Although Scarlett felt that the man she called father was heartless and cruel, she had to bow her head for her mother.

But now she really didn't know what to do.

She gave up her dignity and begged Mike many times. However, he was completely unmoved. Allen was also hard-hearted. Could it be that she really had to see her mother, who was the only one being good to her, struggle on the line of death like this?

The rain suddenly stopped. No, someone blocked the rain for her.

A pair of well-made leather shoes was half-soaked in the muddy rain.

She looked at the long and straight trousers and found Mike standing silently with a black umbrella in his hand.
